I'm with you yagathai, I think this is partially motivated by anti-islamic sentiment from some, but this is much more a reaction to the south park fiasco in which we experienced actual censorship in this country on the basis of the religious views and threats of another group- this was an assertion of one of the basic rights of this country in response to that censorship.
Draw mohammed day was also super popular in the atheist blogger crowds, and that crowd at least is not very anti-muslims in particular, we're just against any religions dictating any policy. :) And while personally I don't need to go around drawing pictures of mohammed, and some of those pictures were indeed very offensive, I may not agree with a word you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it...
